@Evil Tim, the devs stated a couple of times that they were inspired by Japanese fiction on this point. I recall Devilman was mentioned? So it's less about not involving God because he could fix anything (because even in fiction where he does exist writers can come up with reasons why he won't): it's just a thing about direction the creators of DMC chose to take. There are no angels, no heaven, and no god - just demons, the beings of dark, and humans, the ones of the light.

That said, Nero was probably referring to God in the same sense the Western world understands it, just a belief.

...Or maybe he was referring to Sparda, a god of the religion he is technically part of, idk. Look, DMC can be confusing even to lore nuts like me, okay?
